Weird Symptoms

Not sure if this is where I should post this but something strange happened to me tonight. I have been on the gluten free diet for about a week now. I have also been lactose intolerant and stayed away from milk products for about 10 years. Even though lactose intolerant I have found that I can eat small amounts from time to time and be fine.

For the last three days I have eaten the SAME thing ( I have done this because even though off gluten I still have had some symptoms from before so I am doing the " eat safe foods and introduce unsure of food slowly " to figure out what is bothering me ). Anyway, i have eaten the same thing for three days, which consists of apples, nectarines, rice crisps, brown rice, risotto, beets and chicken breasts. As I have been unable to find a BBQ sauce that I know is gluten free, I have been putting annies natural ranch dressing on my chicken breasts. This I know does contain milk products, however as I said before I used to be able to handle small amounts. So, last night I had this, and was fine. Today all day I have been having trouble with having to go to the washroom a lot and hot flashes, and then now tonight after having dinner I am experiencing hot flashes something terrible along with my chest feels tight.

Lol, keep in mind I am only 26 so pretty sure I am NOT going through menopause, lol ....

Could this honestly be from ingesting that small amount of the dressing? Could it be something else? Are these common symptoms of ingesting something you are intolerant too? Could my lactose intolerance be more touchy now that I am gluten free?

Welcome to celiac.com!

You probably are going through withdrawal symptoms. I have had many myself including hot flashes when I was too young to otherwise to have them be menopause. Actually you might be having yeast/candida/fungal withdrawal symptoms if you usually eat either more sugar or starch or both. I did get the hot flash like symptoms and blinding headaches or eye aches with that. Just going off the gluten however could be the culprit. Your system is used to having the opiates from the gluten and now it ain't getting any. Kind of like what a druggie goes through detoxing...It isn't fair, but somehow that is how it is.

Taking liver detox herbs helps--like dandelion root or milk thistle. Burdock root can also be a help. Don't take tinctures however since the alcohol is grain based and thus has gluten. Saunas might help too or bentonite mud packs on your hands and feet (make a paste with water and either 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and leave on at least 15 minutes before washing off--use old wash cloths since it might discolor the material).

Eating lots of green veggies and drinking a gluten free green drink (like chlorophyll from alfalfa mixed in plain water) really helps. Also taking freshly ground flax seed really helps pull out the toxins plus gives you much needed omega 3's. Use a clean coffee grinder and grind. You can add 1/4 tsp. apple pectin to the seeds before grinding to increase the potency of pulling out the toxins in the intestines. Its a very gentle way to detox plus helps with elimination. Mix in water and then chase with more water.

Marshmallow root caps will also help soothe and heal the lining of your gut faster.

Hope this helps!

WOW, thanks that is a lot of informtion!! I will have to try some of those for sure. But, one thing however, since I am more prone to D will any of these make that worse, or aggrivate it, or will I be fine?

Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten, as in "wheat, rye, barley and malt". It will help you find a good barbeque sauce. B)

Sweet Baby Ray's is gluten-free...and really good! I used it pre DX, and was thrilled to find out it was gluten-free.

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
